Ship Repair and Maintenance<br />

Being strategically located on the international shipping route<br />

and the leading logistics player in the region, Singapore receives<br />

heavy volume of mercantile traffic. The vessels that pass through<br />

this route would require regular repair and maintenance to<br />

ensure their seaworthiness and to meet certification requirements.<br />

Our subsidiary, SML operates our ship repair and maintenance<br />

yard at 58 and 60 Penjuru Lane, Singapore.<br />

With 2 slipways, a waterfront and a 3,000 DWT dry dock, our<br />

facilities cater to the niche market of small to mid-sized capacity<br />

vessels plying this region. Our customers are generally owners<br />

of tugs, barges, small tankers and other smaller crafts. Despite<br />

competition from yards located in neighbouring countries, our<br />

higher productivity and specialisation give us the competitive<br />

advantage. Singapore’s stronghold in logistics ensures spares<br />

and equipment are competitively priced and available to reduce<br />

vessel downtime for owners while we carry out repairs. We<br />

release owners’ vessels back into operations faster. To complement<br />

our repair and maintenance services, we also build tugs and<br />

barges for own and customers’ use.<br />
